"Nobody fully understands the effect lightning has on its victims, but strange things seem to happen."
"I never thought I would be struck by lightning. You hear about it, but it always happens to somebody else, not to you."
"I come (?) I can see. (?) only a hundred grams, at worst, are here outside (?) I can tell you when there’s lightning."
"If one's gonna getcha, you ain't gonna see it."
